Jose Alfredo Jimenez Medel at McAllen Performing Arts Center

Jose Alfredo Jimenez Medel has crafted an amazing show that’s the perfect tribute to his father while still presenting an entertaining experience for those in attendance. What can you expect to see once you’re seated within the McAllen Performing Arts Center on Friday, September 13th? At this point, Jimenez Medel has not confirmed who the headlining mariachis or frontman will be for the night. In other stops on his tour we’ve had Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán playing Jose Alfredo songs. That would be an extra treat if they accompanied the show to McAllen. Even if it’s ultimately local performers who will be gracing the stage on this night, it shouldn’t make the event any less appealing.

This is because a major part of the show involves Jose Alfredo Jimenez Medel or even some guests sharing stories from the life of “El Rey” from Dolores Hidalgo Guanajuato. Jimenez Medel himself may even get on stage for a song or two. He’s not the singer his father was, but the resemblance in the voice is significant. A major part of the show, though, are the aforementioned stories. Those will give the night a sense of nostalgia that you just won’t get with the typical mariachi showcases that tend to take place at the McAllen Performing Arts Center on the regular.

Jose Alfredo Jimenez Medel was only seven years old when his father passed. That means that a major part of the show revolves around his own journey of truly discovering who his father was. This adds yet another layer of intrigue and makes the photos and stories so much more gut-wrenching. You may not have expected to cry at a Jose Alfredo Jimenez concert, unless you’re a bit heartbroken. Some of his songs hit that crowd especially hard. With all the other elements taking place on this night, it’s probably going to be more emotional than you expected.

Any seat in the house at the McAllen Performing Arts Center can provide a decent view of the stage for this event on Friday, September 13th. There are many pictures of the life of Jose Alfredo that will be showcased throughout the concert, so you may want to find a place near the stage to see that part of the show in detail.
